At Craft Your Passion this week the challenge is Heavy Metal.We have the fabulous Kenny K as our sponsor too.Head on over to check how to play and win.Don’t forget to take a look at the DT inspiration,they’ve done a wonderful job.

As soon as I saw this loveable,comical Happy Dog by Kenny K I just had to use him on my card XD Maybe it’s because he reminds me so much of my girl :

Such a happy dog 😀 She even smiles when she greets you,no,really!She is the sweetest,funniest girl ♥

Back to the card….

I wanted to give the image a feeling of being ripped from a notebook so I printed it onto this ledger style patterned paper.He’s been coloured with soft pastel pencils to allow the pattern to show through and on his dog tag I used a silver gel pen.A spot of white gel pen picks up the shine on his nose.I did apply 3D Crystal Lacquer on his eyes and nose but I’ve failed to pick it up with the camera 😦 Of course I had to choose some tree paper to go with him 😉 Our girl doesn’t have that kind of interest,naturally,but she does make us laugh when she tries to climb up them looking for squirrels 😀 LOL (you can just see one at the right hand top of the paper along with a little wolf type character who looks remarkably like our dog sneaking up on him – it’s OK I’m sure she will never catch one – she’s so clumsy she’d trip up before she got near!) I ran a piece of woodgrain paper through an embossing folder to create more texture.All the papers have been Distress Inked around the edges.The bottom of each piece have been torn too.Everything has been mounted onto a card blank I made from some printed kraft card.As I have way too much craft stuff so I added loadsa metal items 😉 – see details below. Along with a little paper raffia and jute twine.I stamped the sentiment unevenly on purpose,honestly,then gave the paper the same treatment to tie in with the strip on the card.

Fabulous card Lisa and love the all the references to your adorable pup too 🙂 Great idea to have the ripped out the book look, very eye catching. Good luck in this weeks OSAAT challenge 🙂 Hugs Jane OSAAT DT

Lisa, ypour card is sooo cute – I love that you used ‘your lady’ and her antics to inspire your card. Thank you for sharing your stories – I’ve enjoyed reading about ‘your lady’ so much. Using the ripped notebook paper for your image is a great idea – it fits in with your story so well as I was imagining your lady helping you along with your card crafting – but not always in the way you would want. Good luck in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)
